    Who To Play In Week 7: Palmer, Cutler or Ponder

    I need a QB to fill in for Peyton on his bye week. My choices are:

    Palmer vs JAC
    Cutler vs DET
    Ponder vs ARI

    I feel like Cutler is high risk/high reward. I could easily see Cutler throwing 3 TD's, but 3 INT's is definitely possible with him too. Palmer seems like a safe choice, and the Jags defense is pretty bad. Arizona's defense has been good this year, but Ponder still feels like a solid option at home.

    Help me out here guys.

    I want to start Cutler, but I'm terrified that the Lions Dline will eat up the Bears Oline.

    I'd like to add Freeman to the list. I'm not even going to consider Ponder. Tough matchup, and MIN is still a run heavy team that emphasizes defense. I don't think Ponder will have to throw a lot to keep up with the weak Cardinal offense.

    Right now I can't even choose between Palmer, Freeman and Cutler. All so close. Still think Cutler has the biggest risk-reward.

    Ponder, guy plays well at home and should bounce back nicely here. He prob won't throw an INT here while the other 2 might. Vikings win in a blowout Ponder scores 18+ in a standard league

    Am I crazy for not even considering Ponder? Pretty much have it narrowed down to Palmer, Freeman and Cutler. I doubt Ponder will have to throw much, I doubt the Cards will be able to do much. They are back to Skelton, onto their 3rd string RB.

    Same situation I was in. Went with Freeman. Detroit doesnt have a bad D at all. Top 8 or so. Freeman is up against NO and came off a great week against KC

    Surprised with all the Cutler love. I'm heavily leaning towards Freeman.

    I'm most likely going with J.Freeman myself. J.Cutler was claimed off Waivers. I just like the J.Freeman match-up much better then the C.Ponder one.

    My opponents lineup is really weak because of bye's. I don't need a home-run from my QB. Going to play it safe with Palmer or Freeman. Just need to decide which one.

    Ponder. Palmer is unpredictable.

    Im very surprised im the only one saying Freeman. Cutler's first prime time game against GB ended up with him throwing 4 picks...
